| summary | Sudha Seshadri is a Professor of Neurology at the Boston University School of Medicine, a board-certified neurologist and a Senior Investigator at the Framingham Heart Study. She serves on NIH Study sections, the Editorial Board of Stroke, Neurology, and Journal of Alzheimer Disease, and mentors and teaches medical students, neurology residents, stroke and neuroepidemiology fellows and junior faculty on training grants. She has been leading the neurology working group of the Cohorts of Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) consortium for many years and is a key member of several other international genetic research consortia (IGAP, ISGC, METASTROKE). Pr. Seshadri has played a major role in many recent discoveries of genetic risk variants underlying complex age-related disorders, especially dementia and stroke, as well as MRI-markers of brain aging. She is also a Principal Investigator on the ongoing Alzheimer Disease Sequencing Project jointly funded by the NIA and the NHGRI. |
